Where To Buy Designer Clothes In Istanbul

If you’re looking for the big international fashion houses like Prada, Gucci, or Louis Vuitton, then Istanbul’s Nişantaşı neighborhood as well as the İstinye Park and Zorlu Center shopping malls should be first on your list. However, for the cooler, younger, and more independent designers, Istanbul has an abundance of boutiques that have racks filled with season appropriate goodies you’ll want to take home.

Atelier 55

Store

Serdar-ı Ekrem in Galata is one of Istanbul’s coolest streets, complete with cobblestones and Neo-classical buildings. At the very end you’ll happen upon Atelier 55, quite the sophisticated boutique with a constantly updated collection from local and international clothing and accessory designers. You’ll be able to find names such as Bora Aksu and Ümit Benan as well as Charlotte Olympia, R&Y Augousti, and the store’s own designs under the name Atelier 55.

Midnight Express

Established by an architect and fashion designer, Midnight Express always has some of the best men and women’s collections and accessories from Turkish and international designers. A showroom that has helped many up-and-coming names become very established, Midnight Express features local designs such as the gorgeous bags of Mehry Mu, the urban chic collections of Burçe Bekrek, bohemian getups by American Vintage, and Yazbukey’s overtly colorful outspoken jewelry (to name a few). https://instagram.com/p/BAy-c7zmWid/
